IMPROVEMENT IN POTATO SCOOP.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Bc it. known thai We, EUGENE BROWN and "ILLIABI POL, of Birmingham, in the county of Oakland, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shovels for Shovellingr Potatoes; and we do herebyY declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference heiner had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which the shovel' is represented in perspective.

The following description will enable any one skilled in the art to make my improved potato shovel.

The pointof the shovel is formed of a rounded strip, A, the front edge of' which is made round so as not to eut the potatoes when the shovel is being used. 'Ihe frame A is extended around so as to form the side and back o1" the shovel. Bars B extend from the frame B tothe edge A, curved as shown, so as to forni the shovel into thc general shape ol" the Ordinar)Y scoop shovel. The spacel between the' hars must he snflieient to allow the small stones and dirt to fall through the shovel, but less than the diameter of the potatoes. (j is the handle fastened to the hack part of the frame A in the ordinary manner.

lAs an article of manufacture, a potato shovel A, A, B, constructed substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. A i
